Abstract:
Spectacles for wearing by a user include first and second lenses and first and second frame sections bearing the first and second lenses respectively. In addition, the spectacles include a bridge connected to the first and second frame sections, and first and second weight shift devices connected to the first and second frame sections respectively. The first and second weight shift devices transfer some of the weight of the spectacles to an area of the face of the user in addition to the nose.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method for mounting safety shields onto eyeglass temples and a kit for carrying out that method. A temple of an eyeglass frame is placed in a channel forming part of a side shield thereafter, a pin is inserted into an opening formed in the side shield to create a friction fit between the temple, the channel and the pin which attaches the side shield to the temple. The side shield is placed in its operative position before the pin is inserted into the opening and the friction fit resulting from the insertion of the pin into the opening holds the side shield in its operative position. The kit includes a side shield having a longitudinally extending channel into which a longitudinally extending eyeglass temple may be inserted. The channel has an open lateral end through which the temple may be inserted and a supporting lateral end against which the temple may be supported. The side shield further includes an opening extending transversely to both the longitudinal direction and the supporting lateral wall. A pin is adapted to be inserted into the opening so as to force the temple against the supporting end of the channel to create a force fit between the side shield and the temple when the temple is located in the channel.

Abstract:
A clip-on sunglasses assembly having an elongated base member with a clip member secured to its top for detachably securing the base member to the bottom surface of the brim of a hat. A spring action sled is reciprocally mounted in a rectangularly shaped cutout portion of the base member. A one piece lens has its top edge secured to a lens holder member having a cylindrical shaped drum secured to its rear edge. The cylindrical drum is pivotally mounted in structure extending downwardly from the spring action sled. The lens can be pivoted between a down position and an up position and it is positively positioned in each of these respective positions.
Abstract:
An improved spectacle frame for use with a telemicroscope or similar optical instrument. The spectacle frame includes temple pieces which are angularly disposed with respect to the lenses mounted in the spectacle frame, nose pads which extend toward the tip of the user's nose, rather than the eyes, and a uniquely designed, elevated bridge assembly. Optionally, a second pair of conventionally mounted nose pads may be provided. These features combine to achieve a more favorable positioning of the telemicroscope with respect to both the lenses of the spectacles and the eyes of the user, both to maximize the field of view and to improve the pantoscopic angle, and also improve weight distribution to minimize chafing, soreness and fatigue.
Abstract:
A prescription lens attachable to a safety glass frame. The safety glass frame is provided with a single lens, a center cross pin and indentation on an inner surface of the safety glass frame juxtaposed the temple pivot pin. A prescription frame includes separate prescription lenses and a central clip that clips onto the cross pin of the safety glass frame. The outer ends of the prescription frame are provided with angular locking ends that are pressed into the indentation on the safety glass frame. Thus, the prescription lens frame is held securely onto the safety glass frame between the safety glass frame and the persons eyes. Damage to the safety glass lens or frame necessitate replacement of only the non-prescription safety glasses because the prescription frame can be removed from the damaged frame and secured to a new safety glass frame.
Abstract:
Facial protective wear including a facial shield member having a substantially transparent portion for allowing visible light to pass to the wearer's eyes and a support coupled to the facial shield for supporting the facial shield on the wearer's head. The facial shield member further has a nose protective portion extending over and protecting substantially the wearer's entire nose from in front of and from above and preferably has side portions protecting the wearer's eyes in a direction from the sides of the wearer's head. The facial shield member transparent portion preferably substantially prevents ultraviolet solar radiation from reaching the wearer's eyes and facial features, such as the nose and cheeks, and also from reaching the eyes in a direction from the sides of the head. The facial protective wear also can be used to protect the wearer from the wind and from injury due to flying objects. Various embodiments are described, including embodiments that clip onto existing eyewear or headware. The nose protective portion can be made integrally with the transparent shield portion or removable.
